Editing Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume10 Chapter9 (section)

===Part 5===

"...Ah... Gah... Ahhh... Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

A howling roar like a warcry&mdash;

The awakened Demon King rushed into the madly dancing flames.

The weapon he held with both hands was a jet black demon sword that reflected no light. Surpassing the Vorpal Sword of the past, it was enshrouded in an ominous aura.

All sanity consumed by darkness, the Demon King simply rampaged, driven by hatred and the impulse to destroy.

&mdash;Indeed, you are the one to lead the world towards destruction.

&mdash;Devour these flames of the archnemesis and slaughter mine enemies!<!--in archaic use, "mine" is used as the possessive pronoun before vowels, "my" otherwise-->

From the demon sword's blade, jet black lightning burst out and smashed the great hall's pillar.

His hair stood up on end as his eyes burned with intense hatred.

"Finally awakened huh&mdash;Demon King Kamito."

Rubia Elstein readied her stance with Laevateinn.

The body of its blade was wrapped in blazing flames as it attacked Kamito.

The strongest flames of Astral Zero that could burn the whole world down.

However, the black miasma exuded from the Demon King's body devoured the conflagration within the blink of an eye, transforming them into burning jet-black demonic flames.

"So this is the Demon King's power&mdash;capable of devouring Laevateinn's god-slaying flames even in a half-awakened state huh?"

"...Gah... Oh... Ahhhhhhhh!"

Roaring, the Demon King swung the demon sword enveloped in jet-black flames.

The flames of darkness clashed with the crimson flames, resulting in a massive pillar of fire&mdash;!

"...Gah... Oh... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh&mdash;!"

"&mdash;Yes. This is good."

Swinging Laevateinn, flames burned in Rubia's eyes.

"This power is indeed&mdash;the Demon King's power for destroying the Elemental Lords!"

Demon King and Sacred Maiden&mdash;as their powers resisted each other, the pillar of fire disappeared.

&mdash;Kill them... Take our enemies, kill them...!

Following the guidance of the voice, the Demon King brandished the jet-black demon sword.

Every time the blades met, the miasma released by the demon sword continued to shave away Laevateinn's flames.

This could not even count as a blade dance&mdash;Simply the clash between overwhelming powers.

"Hmm...!"

In the magnificent battle, Rubia was gradually getting suppressed. Even though they were perfectly matched, the Demon King's demon sword was slightly more powerful than the strongest flames.

"Not even time can escape a frozen fate&mdash;Frost Blaze!"

Rubia chanted. The blue flames of absolute zero covered Laevateinn's blade and spread to the Demon King's arm via the demon sword of darkness.

The Demon King's right arm was frozen. However&mdash;

"...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The loud and angry roar even caused an earthquake.

As dark black miasma spread from his body, the flames of absolute zero were shattered within the blink of an eye.

"Are you going to destroy me, Demon King?"

Hoho&mdash;Rubia smiled at this time.

"So be it. My will shall be inherited by Claire&mdash;"

The demon sword of darkness was swung to decapitate the Sacred Maiden&mdash;

&mdash;In that instant, a crimson slash flashed.
